Enrichment & Community Engagement Officer

Hours: 37 hours per week, 52 weeks per annum.

Salary: Tier 6 - £24,672 per annum

Location: This role is based at our Tonbridge Campus. However, the nature of the work will require travelling to any of the College’s campuses as required.

North Kent College (including Hadlow College) is proudly rated as an Ofsted ‘Good’ provider, with ‘Outstanding’ learner behaviours and attitudes (April 2024). With four campuses across Kent and 4,000 students, we strive to equip the young people who study here with an inclusive and innovative education experience to enhance their future career prospects, which, as noted by Ofsted, is supported through our high-quality, industry standard facilities. Each and every staff member plays a key part in delivering the success of our learners’ experience, and we want those who join our curriculum and support teams to share our passion in achieving this.

We are seeking a dynamic and passionate Enrichment & Community Officer to develop and lead a comprehensive programme of social action projects, enrichment activities, and personal development events.

This role is pivotal in increasing student engagement and embedding a culture of volunteerism. The role will enhance the wider enrichment opportunities available to our students beyond their vocational specialism and improve their college experience.

In return, you can look forward to an excellent benefits package including 33 days’ holiday plus bank holidays and enrolment onto the People’s Partnership pension scheme (as part of the staff of North Kent College Business Services Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of North Kent College), free parking and onsite restaurants.

The closing date for applications is Sunday 11th May, with interviews being held on Tuesday 20th May.

North Kent College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and all staff have a responsibility to share and maintain this commitment. In line with the requirements of ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’, appropriate safeguarding checks (including an enhanced DBS check) will be undertaken on all individuals selected for appointment. Posts at the College, a specified establishment where the work gives opportunity for contact with children, are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. It is an offence to apply for a post which involves engaging in regulated activity relevant to children if you are barred from doing so. Please be advised that, again in line with ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’, shortlisted candidates (who wish to accept an invite to interview) will be required to complete and submit prior to their interview a self-declaration of their criminal record or information that would make them unsuitable to work with children.
